RICHARD THORN SWAc RICHARD THORN SWAc Richard Thorn Watercolour and mixed media artist. SWAc

Lots of colour and bags of feeling in my work. I get a lot of associations with the landscape of devon and the coast which I attempt to put into my paintings. Drawing was my first love. From an early age I did nothing but draw. I think it was a great start to my career as a painter.
I am an accomplished Jazz musician(guitarist) and songwriter.
(I lead a quartet MAÑANA playing latin and world rhythms. The band plays original material.) www.manana.org.uk
